Concrete Fence

Concrete fence has been used for many years and was originally produced with no added design. Smooth panels and posts mimicked tongue and groove wood fence construction where boards were installed between slotted posts set anywhere from five to eight feet apart. The concrete panels were produced horizontally in small segments and fitted one on top of another.

As technology developed, step joints were constructed as part of the forms so that the concrete fence panels actually interlocked with one another. The early precast concrete forms had the textures molded into the bottom of the form; thus, the architectural form was only found on one side of the concrete fence. The “back” side of the panel which was the open side of the form was either floated in a smooth or broom finish. Some early decorative concrete fences attempted to have a block or stone wall design pressed into the top side of the panel, but the panel was not equal on both sides.

In the early 1980s, technology improved and the small segments of concrete fence began to be cast vertically, thereby creating the first equally textured designs on both sides of the concrete fence. The designs first emulated the look of wood, brick and finally stone fence. But this concept was only applied to the smaller modular systems; large concrete panels were still being cast horizontally. Although the finishes on the “molded” side improved dramatically, the “top” side of the concrete fence panel still needed to be finished. Some companies began to use a stucco or plastered finish to improve the aesthetics; they still were not able to offer customers a “molded textured” image equal to the other side.

Towards the end of the 1990’s, the first vertically cast full concrete panel fence was introduced into the market place by StoneTree™. By creating a vertical form, the concrete fence was cast with form liners on each side of the wall panel yielding a finished molded texture. In association with the panel production, the column forms were also designed for vertical end to end casting, thus producing textures on all visible sides. As competition realized the demand for the new and improved product the concrete fences with molded texture on both sides expanded rapidly. 

Then Advanced Forming Technologies (AFTEC) surged forward with the use of their proprietary Combo-Cast™ process to develop a precast concrete fence wall system combining the manufacturing of BOTH the fence column and panel, as one integrally cast concrete fence unit. This single development has revolutionized the efficiency table in concrete fence technology by cutting the labor time in half to produce, handle and install large panel concrete fences. By focusing on the emerging change in future labor rates, AFTEC has positioned the StoneTree™ Forming System as the one and only concrete fence system capable of addressing the needs for efficient use of labor, rapid and safer installation and the most stable precast concrete fence system in the market place that completely eliminates the need to rent a concrete form.

The StoneTree™ Concrete Fence Wall System does not require bracing during installation due to the proprietary combined column/panel and rigid support system. StoneTree™ Concrete Fences, using innovation and emerging technologies, also employs the AFTEC Patented Rigid Support Footing System.  The concrete footings are constructed 15 feet on center with a rigid support (usually a steel I-beam) partially embedded in the footing and extending upward to support the combined column and panel unit.   Once the footings are cured, they are ready to support the concrete fence section.  The panel is then lifted and set into place with the rigid support aligning the concrete fence, minimizing the labor required for alignment.  The concrete fence may be installed as rapidly as the fence panel/column sections can be hoisted into place.  The columns do not require to be filled with concrete or grout such as a grouted cell column using rebar would require.  Caps are then placed on top of the columns for the complete installation process.  Color, finishes and sealers are optional items that may be used depending upon requirements.

The StoneTree™ concrete fence forming systems are also designed so that the concrete fence panel liners that create the finished textures can be easily interchanged; thus, they provide the precast concrete fence manufacturer the opportunity of producing a variety of double-sided finishes in the concrete fence that is being supplied.
